Peter Gabriel will issue his albums So, Us and Up on remastered vinyl on July 15. The records will be reissued at half-speed 45 RPM to “deliver the maximum sound range.”

The So album from 1986 will be released across two heavyweight 180g LPs, while 1992’s Us and 2002’s Up will launch across three heavyweight 180g LPs.

Gabriel says: “It has been heart-warming to see the return of vinyl. Even though I loved being free of its limitations in the digital world, there is still a warmth and presence to vinyl that somehow makes it a more natural human companion. It is great to see a new generation learning the secrets of the grooves.”

Last year he relaunched his first four solo albums – Car, Scratch, Melt and Security on vinyl.

So, Us and Up can be pre-ordered via Gabriel’s official website.

Gabriel tours North America with Sting this summer.
